Preview Letters

So does all of our talk about letters recently have you interested in the letters in your CryWolf® database? If you would like a quick way to review them, in Maintenance, go to the Forms menu, and then choose Review Letter information.


In the View Letter information window, there will be two options:
View Basic Letter information and Preview All Letters



The view Basic Letter information will give you a table listing all of the letters and the basic information about them such as the letter use, the letter title, and any charges associated with the letter. It will also show the template used, the letterhead, who the letter is sent to, if there is a registration form associated (and which one),  and if an invoice is attached (and which kind). Also, any special actions associated with the letters will be listed.


The Preview All Letters option produces a continuous file of all of the letters in the system.  This is a quick way to review the letters.  If you choose to include the support forms, then any relevant registration forms or invoices are also included in the report.  The report can be saved as a pdf file. However, in our office, we used this function to make a notebook of all of the letters that are currently in the system.  This lets us quickly view which letters might need an update.  We also labeled the letters with any special instructions that need to be followed such as if it should be sent by certified mail.
Have fun with this feature and add a comment if you have any ideas for other great uses of this feature.

Queen of the Dairy

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year?  I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old.  Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived.  Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah?  When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity.  Maybe it felt so long  because  I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen.  My parents were teachers  and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone.  We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house.  I probably tried something different each time-...

CiteBlue

I have been enjoying participating in the MSU College of Law Social Media Contest . I have learned (and am still learning) a lot. Because of my activity, I have been able to connect with organizations and people that I would never have come across without social media. For this introvert, it has been like opening a whole new world. (I know, most people would never guess that I am an introvert; they probably just think that I am a snob. In social settings, I am a complete misfit, but put me in front of a classroom or conference room and I shine. It is strange, I know, but that is me. Perhaps we will dissect that in a different post). It has been interesting to see what posts attract followers. It has also been eye opening to figure out that followers also appear with an agenda--for example, some follow hoping to be followed in return to build their own group. This week, a company called CiteBlue "followed" me on Twitter. I wasn't familiar with the company, so I clicked o...

Ferret Friday #13-Property Ferret

This semester, I have been enjoying the Property book selected by our professor. The book was written by John G. Sprankling and Raymond R. Coletta, and I have found the book to be very approachable. I have really enjoyed the interactive elements that make the book quite engaging. The authors seem to have a sense of humor as this line from the preface indicates: "As authors, we own any errors in the text, at least until someone with better title comes along." Instead of making the study of law as painful as possible with archaic language and cases that are difficult to fathom, the authors seem to have sifted through related cases until they found the most interesting ones to illustrate the rules. With many text books this year, I have spent much time flipping through a legal dictionary just to decipher the lesson. So far, that is not the case with this book; the authors have used language that is easy to follow. I am not saying that important legal terms have been left out ...
